When deciding the best location for your hob, there are some things to remember. First, how close you are the ideal place to end a run units; second, how close it is to sink.
"If possible, it is best to keep the hob as far as possible from the edge of the unit running or high unit," said Conrad Hendrick of LWK Kitchens London - at least 60cm from the tip unit and 30cm from the unit run high. 'These measurements allow enough space for the pan handle will turn in, to prevent people from accidentally knock them over, "he explains.
When placing the stove you in relation to your sink, Conrad suggested minimum 60cm clearance for health and safety reasons.

Safety first
It is not safe to install the hob over a ventilated gas oven in which you have to keep the door open for the grill. "It makes use of the stove and the oven at the same time very safe, because you are good at increased risk of burns by trying to reach the hob on the door, or the oven door will close during grilling, causing a build-harmful carbon monoxide," said Hayley ,
Pas hob over washing machine, refrigerator or freezer is not recommended. Over time, the heat generated from the stove may adversely affect the equipment. 'Sometimes there are some exceptions, though, so we always advise our customers to consult the manufacturer's installation guide before fitting, "added Hayley.

the shape and size of
Hobs come in all kinds of dimensions, with widths ranging from 30cm to 110cm, so it's worth taking the time to think about what you need. the stove standards are generally 60cm wide and has four cooking zone. Also available is 70cm models with zone five cooking that can get into the 60cm, as it is designed to overlapping worktop you.
'If you have the space available, it is better to go for a hob 80cm or 0cm with five burners, especially if you do a lot of cooking , "suggests Christian Gluntz of Schmid kitchen. Extra space for pots and pans means you will work more efficiently.
To help you determine the best size for your needs and space, Christian suggest you:

To help you determine the best size for your needs and space, Christian suggest you:
- think about how you cook. For example, how many pots and pans that you normally use at one time and what size they
- Consider the design of your kitchen and the size of desks that :? Make sure you have enough working space around the hob
- Look at the depth of your worktop: .. if it is less than 60cm deep, then consider hob linear (see below)
stove Linear
Linear stove, where the burners arranged in a line rather than in a square shape, has a number of benefits over more traditional shaped stove. 'If you have limited space on an island, hob linear may be more beneficial, because it has a depth of about 33cm, compared with the depth hob this standard is about 50cm, "said Conrad.
Pro The neat , setting the horizontal ring means pots and pans are not sitting in front of and behind each other. "This eliminates the need to reach over hot pans to get to the cooking zone farthest, making burns less likely," said Hayley. "It can also makes controlling the stove much easier, as the key or button is usually directly below the corresponding cooking zone. '
Cons Losses of linear stoves is that they are the same width as the hob with five cooking zones, around 91.2cm, but can only be facilitated four cooking zones. Plus, linear hob can be tricky to integrate into your kitchen design. If you have a standard built-under oven 60cm, for example, 60cm hob suite will look neater than the hob again. "You'll need to check the space you have before buying," suggests Steve, 'as linear stove requires a cut-out space adapted. "

Domino stove
A domino hob - as the name suggests - is a square long in the shape and size of 30cm width. Placing two or three hobs domino together to make up a bespoke cooking, as seen here. Joining strip available, so you can give the illusion of a single tool. If you already have a standard 60cm hob, add to your cooking skills by placing a domino hob beside him.
'stove Domino good for a variety of situations, "Steve said." If you have an Aga, for example, but only need to use the stove, the dominoes will save heating throughout oven. domino stove is also ideal for families or small people living alone who do not need four cooking zones. "
Pro 'Instead of relying on just one type of fuel, you can use a combination stove domino to get the right balance of gas and electricity you need for your cooking style," Hayley said. For example, you can mix and match the two ring gas domino with hotplate and wok station electric teppan-yaki. What's more, you can choose the exact layout that suits your style of cooking options available space in your kitchen.
Cons A single domino hob may be too narrow for both gas burners to be used at the same time. 'Region hob can also look a bit disjointed, as a liaison between the gas stove lift and electrical surface flat can make the cooking area looked a bit awkward, especially when moving the pot between each cooking zone, "said Conrad.

professional installation
a gas stove should only ever be installed by an engineer gas Safe registered, while electric and induction cookers often must be programmed by a professional. "It is important the electricity supply has been configured correctly to ensure the safe use of tools, "said Hayley." Plus, if the tool is not installed properly, it can cancel some manufacturers' warranty. "
As a rule of thumb, getting a qualified professional to install your hob, whether gas or electric.

[1945002anak] Keeping safe

Keeping little fingers safe distance from open flames or hot ceramic stove will avoid accidents. In this case, the induction cooker is often ideal because, as described in one part of this guide to choose the hob , only the pan is heated, rather than the surface of the stove.
